FULL-DEPTH REPAIR AND UTILITY CUTS FOR CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

Full-depth repair corrects concrete pavement structural problems early in their development and repairs them with a long-lasting, low maintenance patch. By removing and replacing isolated areas of deterioration, full-depth repairs delay or stop further deterioration and restore the pavement close to its original condition. Full-depth repairs also restore the structural integrity and rideability of a concrete pavement after utility cuts. When done at the right time, full-depth repairs are cost effective, fast, and cause minimal disruption to traffic. Full-depth repair consists of five basic steps: 1. Locating and isolating the patch area; 2. Removing the deteriorated concrete; 3. Preparing the patch area; 4. Placing and finishing the new concrete; 5. Opening to traffic.
